Speak low when you speak love
Our summer days with us await too soon, too soon!
Speak low when you speak love
Our moment's swift like ships are drift
We sail apart too soon!

Speak low when you speak love
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is me, tomorrow is here
And I waste too soon!

Time is so old and love is so brief
Love is your gold and time a thief
We're late! Darling, we're late
The curtains descend,
Everything ends too soon, too soon
Wait, darling wait
Will you speak low?
To me speak love,
To me and soon!
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Time is so old and love is so brief
Love is your gold and time a thief
We're late! Darling, we're late
The curtains descend,
Everything ends too soon, too soon
Wait, darling wait
Will you speak low?
To me speak love,
To me and soon!
